You are here because you knew that all they offer was the freedom that a well-kept slave could ever ask for. Now, I cannot tell you what true freedom is. You have got to find that for yourself.

Trump getting coronavirus, losing the election, getting dragged out the WH in cuffs along with his sons, his daughter, and all his minions, especially Mitch McConnell, and the rest of the swamp he filled would be the beginning of the redemption arc 2020 needs.

Gotta learn to ask the universe for what we deserve and claim that shit.

I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe!!!

Day 21 #Black History Month Write It! Series 

Jackie Ormes  (1911 – 1985)is known as the first African-American woman cartoonist with a syndicated comic strip. Her confident, smart and independent cartoon characters–Torchy Brown, Candy, Patty-Jo, and Ginger–delighted readers.

Jackie Ormes’ life would be an entertaining biopic. Her characters, Torchy Brown, Candy, Patty-Jo, and Ginger were smart, stylish, and socially savvy. Set in the 1940s or 1950s, the lives of her leading ladies would also create an enjoyable film or series.

i will never understand niggas. you would rather be out with your boys, making plays, drinking and everything else under the sun. while you have, you are being offered warm thighs and soft skin. with a sweet fragrance and an intense passion. you have genuine love over here but you’d rather be with your boys? smh, what a waste.

SAYS THIS TIRED OF THE BULLSHIT BLACK MAN

[nativenews]

[thundergrace]

Imagine someone shoots you, very likely tried to kill you and after that trauma you expect sympathy and maybe an outpouring of support but instead your trauma becomes a meme and everyone is laughing at your pain.

And this is truly the burden of black women. The world tears us down to nothing so we build up these hard exteriors to protect ourselves (which usually manifests as what appears to be unwavering confidence) and are praised for our "strength" but really for how much abuse we can take. And the result of that is people feeling free to treat us any kind of way without remorse because we're expected to handle everything better than other women. We're rarely seen as victims, sympathetic characters, vulnerable, and deserving of affection.
